Last week I had my GTR tuned on Boost98 for a dyno figure of 351rwkw.I used Boost98 after reading the article in HPI by Martin Donnon.

The car ran great with knock readings in the mid 30's,till the weather got hot,where I recorded low 70's.Nigel(Ice Performance) suggested we retard the timing 2 degrees and see what happens.Single digit knock,so we tried 1 degee retarted,where we got mid teens and left it there.The car is going back in for cam timing adjustments,so I just adjusted the timing in the settings screen,I had to do it every time I restarted the car.

Today,I was near a Shell servo that stocks Extreme100,so I thought I would fill up(47 litres) and test it out.I am now running 3 degrees advanced over the original setting on Boost98,thats 4 degrees more timing!!!!! and recording mid teens on the knock sensor.

I will be using this fuel on my next tune in the New year,highly recommended.

Between now and my next tune,I will try Ultimate to see how it compares.

There are 2 Ethanol fuels.E10 has 10% and is sold by United as Boost98 and E5 has 5% and is sold by Shell as Extreme100.

Dyno figures are bound to go up dramatically as we had 365rwkw and had to knock out some timing using the obviously inferior Boost98.The 100 octane Extreme looks very very promising,allowing 4 degrees of extra timing while keepoing the knock lower,should also allow a little more boost.

Cnr Warrigal Rd and Centre Dandenong Rd Cheltenham,near DFO.

There are 5 shell servos on Burwood Hwy and 1 in St Albans as well.

thanks for that.

burwood hwy is a bit out of the way for me, so i'll have to try my luck in st albans.

Generally you loose power with ethanol blended fuels, so you have to advance the timing to get some of the power back. The good thing is, with careful tuning you can get good gains over the regular 98 RON stuff.

New 100octane shell fuel with 5% ethonal is what you want. you will not lose any power , you will gain timing,response and power.

I did some research ito fuel octane and detonation and have to wonder why the ethanol was added . I sort of though that the alcohol helped to make any condensation soluble but I'm beginning to wonder if slower burning high octane fuels need a bit of help at the cold start phase . The mighty 3 cyl G11 ran like a hairy goat at the first cold start on the Shell 100 but runs fine on it now . If anything it make a little better part throttle torque and the choke (showing its age here) is never needed .

It will be interesting to see if the other flavours of 100 octane fuels will have ethanol in them .

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
